Video blog: Blue Sky Gazing

Date: April 18 and 19Mileage: 48 and 13.7April mileage: 437.6Temperature: 34 and 29

So instead of typing about my weekend, I thought I'd make another video blog. This one also didn't turn out the way I imagined it. I strapped my "helmet cam" way too high, so all of the cycling shots are basically blue sky and treetops. But I sprinkled some clips in because they help break up the blathering (don't worry. It's only six or seven minutes long.) I looked for a song that goes well with skygazing ... The Goldfinger cover of Nena's "99 Red Balloons." Someday I will get this video thing right. In the meantime ...

I was in the Army for eight years and tried like hell to get them to station me in Alaska. Your blog makes me all the more sad that they never did. If you don't mind, I'll check back regularly and live vicariously through you.
